Good Friday, Passover, and Baseball

Some people do not know that Sandy Koufax, a Hall of Fame pitcher and Orthodox Jew, refused outright to pitch a game on Saturdays--and that included Saturdays on which the LA Dodgers were playing in the World Series.

What do you think Koufax would say to the present-day baseball king--who schedules games this year not only during Passover, but on Good Friday?

I am particularly grateful that Abp. Dolan has firmly nixed eating burgers, brats, and hot dogs at the game on Good Friday.

He could have taken another step, of course, and he wouldn't have had to make a long-distance call to do it.
